Are We Living In A Computer Simulation ?

This is one interesting concept of life! But what we perceive may
not be as real as it seems.. This theory states we are nothing but a
model within a giant computer simulation which is ran by a super
civilization from the future?

Post Human Civilization

Some people theorize that this program of life may actually be the work
of an ancient civilization or even of extraterrestrial origin. Todays
life could be an authentic simulation of what life was like thousands of
years ago.. This would mean that we are experiencing ‘fake events’
which are orchestrated for the purpose of entertainment to these
super-civilization which may not even be of human origin. To give you a
good idea of this concept, it’s important for you to understand that
there is more than one dimension which ‘plays’ out different scenarios
within the same world which has over a million different outcomes. Now
this all seems impossible but when you read about these different
theories: The String Theory, Quantum Mechanics and Time Travel. The
world doesn’t make sense, that’s why scientists have been trying to
figure out the mysteries of our world for decades.. Still to this day,
no one has come up with any answers which would explain everything.. But
could this theory make complete sense?

A Real-Life Matrix?

The idea of being trapped in cyberspace has been covered in the movie,
Matrix but this same idea has been around for centuries. But it
received a lot of publicity when Nick Bostrom from the Department of
Philosophy at Oxford University wrote a scientific paper called: “Are
You Living In A Computer Simulation” in 2001. He argues that we are
really living in a computer simulation because these simulated
individual could accurately mimic the real world at any given time in
history to the tiniest level. His final version of this paper appeared
in the Philosophical Quarterly (2003), Vol. 53, No. 211, pp. 243-255. He
argues that at least one of the following propositions is true:

(1) the human species is very likely to go extinct before
reaching a “posthuman” stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is
extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their
evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost
certainly living in a computer simulation.

While reading this, you might find this complete crazy. But if you
realize where we most of our technology from; you would find that there
is much more advance equipment out there that has been
‘Reseved-Engineered’ from Alien technology which has crashed here on
Earth. Think how small computer chips have gotten over the years.. Or
all the other technology that has gotten smaller and faster as time goes
on.. There is a missing link between all inventions! But Bostrum
believes that super-civilizations are not even representing the full
capacity of the actual capability of these ‘super machines’ which could
make calculations up to the smallest particle in the Universe. He
writes:

“The computational power of a planetary-mass computer is
10^42 operations per second, and that assumes only already known
nanotechnological designs, which are probably far from optimal. A single
such computer could simulate the entire mental history of humankind
(call this an ancestor-simulation) by using less than one millionth of
its processing power for one second. A posthuman civilization may
eventually build an astronomical number of such computers. We can
conclude that the computing power available to a posthuman civilization
is sufficient to run a huge number of ancestor-simulations even if it
allocates only a minute fraction of its resources to that purpose.”

Some would say that we are on this path towards technology that could
create this computer simulation as I mentioned above. I mean each year
we are doubling the speed of computer processors, we are creating
much-more realistic video games and even 3D technology has just hit the
shelves. Think about it, you can digitally render clouds, water,
terrain, and people by using a computer. So why can’t you render a
entire universe?

Just A Computer ?

Today’s
software (Poser 5) can create 3D images of landscapes, animals and even
people! How long until software could create a 360 degree view of a
simulated object? It’s almost to the point where you would not be able
to distinguish between real-life or this simulation world.. You can even
animate the objects, to make them walk, talk and even seen like a real
person in this digital created world! If you could do this with your
home computer, imagine a couple years from now..Remember humans have feelings, emotions and personalities.. This
simulation must be able to incorporate all these attributes both
seamlessly and automatically! We already have ‘robot-humans’ called
Artificial Intelligence which are copies of us humans which are used in
research right now. But when will these A.I machines replace humans in
this world? Not until everything, down to the the tiniest sub-atomic
particle is figured out.. When the machine can think exactly like a
human without any help from a slow computer system. But what about
religious beliefs? It wouldn’t be no more or less important than it’s to
humans now.. But can these simulated beings have souls?This is only a part of the endless questions that arise from this
argument.. No matter how much you discuss this with scientists. Would
they only be ‘talking’ from the pre-programmed intelligence about
spiritual feelings? But supporters of this theory suggest that
simulations don’t distort the value of religious beliefs. It just
represents a world within a world, which is controlled by being.. They
are only subject to the same ‘Master Creator’ who created this world for
entertainment. It only adds more fun to the game!

The
greatest objection to this ‘simulated world’ is computer crashes..
Everyone who has or had a computer knowns that they are subject to
problems. These crashes usually happen when the computer is put under
great pressure when it goes beyond it’s capabilities. It’s simply needs
to reboot its self to fix the problem, but sometimes it acquires a
virus. Which means the software is poorly written or it wasn’t properly
configured. The question is; Would these crashes affect the simulated
universe? Well if there is corrupted data which cannot be recovered or
if the system is no longer able to run the program due to outdated
software. What would these crashes feel like to those stuck inside this
created universe? It probably would feel like a very bad sickness or
even death in some cases. This would be equal to a huge computer crash
which left your machine in non-working condition. Do you know what
happens after death?! Are we all living inside our own ‘created
universe’ which slowly dies due to a biological clock that never stops?

Conclusion

So if we are really living inside a simulation, that’s why we need to
keep the people running this program interested and happy. This is why
when you put on the news, the only thing you hear is negativity which
screws with out thoughts and actions to keep the ‘creator’ entertained?
Is that why our world will never be peaceful, or easy to live.. Why are
people starving? Why can’t everything be free? Why do we have to work? I
could go on and on about all the issues within this world; that could
be easily solved by making everything equal. But would that be any fun
to the people who control this world?Now this is a really fascination subject which hasn’t been proven to be
true or false.. Now I always love a good theory. I think this simulated
world theory puts a good spin on everything. Think about our fascination
with laboratory rats and reality TV, which shows that humans love to
observe the behavior of other people. With all the technology that is in
this world, it seems like nothing is impossible. One day everything
will have a explanation but for now we can only think about the
possibilities of this strange world which no one knows anything about…
Remember something could be watching you! Until now, don’t live life in
fear! Don’t become a victim of this crazy world.. Don’t believe anything
because everything has a creator. If you have a different thought on
this theory please feel free to email me at tips@usahitman.com
